The UNCF Career Pathways Initiative (CPI), funded by Lilly Endowment, is a $50 million investment over a seven-year period, that helps four-year HBCUs and PBIs strengthen institutional career placement outcomes with the goal of increasing the number of graduates who immediately transition to meaningful jobs in their chosen fields.

Through this initiative, UNCF manages a competitive grant-making process to award planning and implementation grants to institutions to help students achieve a greater return on their investment in the form of meaningful employment immediately after graduation.

The CPI is designed to strengthen career placement outcomes by encouraging participating institutions to enhance what their students gain from the liberal arts—critical thinking, creative problem solving, effective oral and written communication skills, diverse and global perspectives, among other things—with specific preparation, training and experiences they need to be employable and successful early in their chosen careers.

 

The Nathan W. Collier Library is located at the center of the Florida Memorial University campus. The library is an attractive two level structure, with approximately 25,000 square feet of floor space, a Group Study Room which accommodates 6-8 students and reading rooms on each level, and a seating capacity of over 500. The collection includes over 127,000 volumes, e-books, an audio-visual/media center and a wide range of subscriptions to journals and newspapers in support of the academic programs. The Library subscribes to several web-base Full Text Databases that provide access to thousands of scholarly journals and newspapers.

I think it's important for students to know that when they get to campus, that they should find their way to iRoar, because it's a UNCF Career Pathways Initiative.

The UNCF, it funds a lot of HBCUs, and yours is one of them.

So anytime you see UNCF, you should definitely be signing up for things.

So iRoar it stands for intentional readiness for occupational acquisition and retention, which is a fancy way to say that we're getting you the resources that you need so that you can successfully make your way through college and not just wait for graduation.

That looks like so many things.

So if you need scholarships, because who doesn't want to go to college for free, internships, employment, even after you graduate, having your first entry level career, anything you can think of that goes with your career.

That's what we're trying to help you with.

The library is a great place for students to gather and study. We have databases, we have an electronic classroom, and we have two computer Commons areas.

Each is equipped with its own print copy scan machine, and students are given an allowance for use of those machines each semester.

We want students to know that there are opportunities that they can do every single semester.

There is scholarship money out there that you can win every single semester, so that you won't have to come out of pocket.

There are companies that are looking for Florida Memorial University students and so you can come to us.

There is no question too small, even if you don't know what to say, we'll take it from there, and you're always welcome to come by.
